Sleep Efficiency and Total Sleep Time in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes with and without Insomnia Symptoms

Explanatory variables of objectively measured 24-h movement behaviors in people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes: A systematic review

AIM

Physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB) and sleep (i.e. 24-h movement behaviors) are associated with health indicators in people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D). To optimize 24-h movement behaviors, it is crucial to identify explanatory variables related to these behaviors. This review aimed to summarize the explanatory variables of 24-h movement behaviors in people with prediabetes or T2D.

METHODS

A systematic search of four databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus & Embase) was performed. Only objective measurements of 24-h movement behaviors were included in the search strategy. The explanatory variables were classified according to the levels of the socio-ecological model (i.e. intrapersonal, interpersonal and environmental). The risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute appraisal checklist.

RESULTS

None of the 78 included studies investigated 24-h movement behaviors. The majority of the studies investigated PA in isolation. Most studied explanatory variables were situated at the intrapersonal level. Being male was associated with more moderate to vigorous PA but less light PA in people with T2D, and more total PA in people with prediabetes. An older age was associated with a decrease in all levels of PA in people with T2D. HbA1c was positively associated with sleep and SB in both groups. No associations were found at the interpersonal or environmental level.

CONCLUSION

The results of this review underscore the lack of a socio-ecological approach toward explanatory variables of 24-h movement behaviors and the lack of focus on an integrated 24-h movement behavior approach in both populations.

Consequences of Sleep Deprivation in Adult Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 Patients: An Integrative Review

BACKGROUND: Sleep deprivation in individuals with diabetes mellitus type 2 is more prevalent than in ordinary people. At present, the adverse effects of diabetes type 2 people with sleep disorders and sleep deprivation on blood sugar control are irrefutable. Thorough assessments covering the whole structure should be of concern in health-care treatment. It is precipitated and delivered to the physical, mental health, and social environment, but no systematic review or minimal data were published. Furthermore, it may significantly affect the system more than existing research. AIM: An integrative review aims to clarify the results or consequences of sleep disturbance/deprivation or insomnia symptoms among diabetes mellitus type 2 patients. METHODS: The writers implemented a literature search in PubMed, CINAHL, and Medline using the terms DM type 2, insomnia, adult, effect, DM, sleep disturbance, sleep disorder, and a consequence between 2012 and 2022. Inclusion criteria selected through considering the entire article, and providing an abstract, were 20 articles. RESULTS: Integrative data extraction and information were analyzed thematically. Identified were nine ideas: Association with blood sugar control, blood pressure control, risk of CVD, diabetes self-care behavior, weight gained and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), lifestyle and physical activity, mood/depression and anxiety symptoms, daily calories distribution, cholesterol/triglyceride, and liver enzyme levels. CONCLUSION: The adverse effects of sleep deprivation in type 2 diabetes significantly affect all pathophysiologically, mentally, and lifestyle modifications, including diabetes self-care. Therefore, to highlight the importance of promoting optimum sleep in diabetes type2 patients, a health-care system is inevitably as necessary as diet and exercise management.
